About
The Role The Services team is at the heart of how Juniper delivers outcomes for patients. We run one of the world's fastest-scaling health coaching operations — directly responsible for the engagement, retention, and weight loss outcomes of our patient base — and we're looking for a Strategy & Operations Associate to cover a maternity leave on a 1-year fixed-term contract . This is a project-heavy, cross-functional role with a lot of variety. You'll work on pressing operational and strategic challenges in the Services function, translating strategy into execution and reporting to the Head of Services. In practice, that means designing and improving the systems, processes, and ways of working that allow us to deliver a great coaching experience at scale. This role does not include direct people management, but you'll work closely with Health Coaching Team Leads and other cross-functional stakeholders (products/ operations/ clinical team) to drive projects from hypothesis to completion. No two weeks will look the same. If you're someone who gets stuck in, enjoys problem solving, thrives in ambiguity and wants to do work that improves how we deliver care at scale and affects patient outcomes — this role is for you.
What You'll Do You'll own a mix of projects and ongoing operational work (typically 2-3+ things at a time) that improve patient outcomes and drive meaningful business value for Eucalyptus. You'll be accountable for moving core team metrics like engagement with our services, retention, quality of support, and safe practicing within the Health Coaching team.
